We all know the saying “To err is human”. By which we understand that it’s common for a person to mistakes once in a while. And that’s one of the things that makes us different from a mindless and emotionless machine.
No matter who you are or how old are you if pick up a new job that you never even heard of before it’s pretty common to do mistakes at first. But if you knew about the mistakes that newcomers make you would have been prepared and tried your best to avoid doing them.
That goes for streamers as well. If you look up the beginning of the famous streamers that you follow, you would be surprised to see that they did some rookie mistakes the first time. Yeah, they might earn from home online through it and have a healthy income funnel at the start. But money doesn’t define perfection. So, mistakes happen.
And it’s not their fault though they didn’t have anyone to follow. Or watch videos or read blogs that are available now to learn about them beforehand. But you do. So, let’s talk about 5 such common mistakes that new streamers make.
01. Not planning ahead
In various cases, it has been seen that many new streamers in the rush of the moment whenever they discover a stream worthy news they tend to start streaming and speak about it to raise their publicity as the earliest ones to speak about such news.
But this spreads a lot of pieces of information that are not confirmed. Which may cause unrest among the people or even worse may become a reason for the destruction of the life of someone innocent.
And besides misinformation also causes the credibility of your streams to be doubted and may cause your channel to be banned in the process.
02. Not choosing the right topic
Sometimes in a hurry to gain fame and start a channels rookies would tend to create videos whatever they think of first. This could cause a lot of problems. Cause when choosing a topic you must think of your viewers and if they will be fine with it. In some cases, it’s seen, newbies chose topics that are completely unrelated to their target audience which greatly annoys them. They only chose those topics to cause they were working well with the current trend. And it’s good to choose such a topic you first have to look up if that topic you are choosing sits well with your audience or goes with your channel’s theme. If not, then it’s best to avoid such a topic. So it’s best to research a topic before choosing it.
03. Staying silent during the stream
In some cases especially during game streaming new streamers tend to be silent which is very bad. Because not only does it cause the audience to become dissatisfied but newcomers who came to learn from your videos don’t understand anything and become irritated.
04. Not scheduling streams
You must make a schedule to stream. This will not only help you to have a steady time to prepare your content but also allow your loyal fans to know when to expect your streams, which will increase the credibility of your channel as well.
05. Copying contents without consent
In some cases to stream fast and value content, some rookies copy materials from other streamers or sites and stream them on their channel without the other party’s consent which causes unrest among them. And may even lead to a copyright claim and you might end up going to jail for it.
